LongHorn Steakhouse has recognized five longtime employees as Grill Master Legends after each surpassed the milestone of grilling more than 1 million steaks during their careers.
The five employees, who have each spent more than two decades perfecting their grilling skills, join an exclusive group of just 40 Grill Master Legends in the restaurant chain’s history.
The newest honorees are
- Dominique Fevril of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
- Luis Torres of Ocala, Florida
- Tom Hillrich of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
- Alejandro Cruz of Commerce, Georgia
- Miguel Loza of Buford, Georgia
Each employee was recognized with a surprise celebration attended by family, friends, coworkers, and company representatives, including LongHorn Steakhouse President Laura Williamson.
The honorees also received custom gold chef coats recognizing their Grill Master Legend status, a $5,000 award, and an additional $1,000 annually for as long as they remain employed with the company.
LongHorn Steakhouse maintains a team of specially trained Grill Masters at each restaurant who are responsible for preparing steaks to guests’ preferred temperatures. The employees receive training in grilling fresh, never-frozen steaks, using the chain’s proprietary seasoning blends, and maintaining consistent preparation standards.
The Grill Master Legend distinction recognizes employees who have reached the 1 million-steak milestone through years of service and grilling expertise.
With the addition of the five honorees, LongHorn Steakhouse has recognized 40 employees with the distinction since the program began.
